Cheap lazy tracking

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

Perfect example of separating the stock from the company. I don’t personally like to do business with them (though I do), but I’d rather have my money in them than some of the financial institutions that I do like to work with.

An Investor Place article today listing “5 Dead Dow Stocks You Can Live Without” and I own every one of them. Ah, hard to be lazy with the news what it is today :(

Tension Testing Tengion Tissue

I can’t tell if I caught on to these guys too early or if it is all just smoke and mirrors.

I made good money on IBM way back when they were in the 70′s, but an article today about their $10 billion stock buy back reminds me I would have twice as much if I had held on to it.
